The HIPAA Conformance Certification Organization (HCCO) is a nonprofit organization that provides the health care industry with guidelines for complying with HIPAA regulation through the use of accreditation and certification standards and services. HCCO brings interoperability of HIPAA transactions to health care through its CCAP testing programs by helping vendors in interpreting the Implementation Guides in the same manner. CCAP is the only process available to vendors to test interoperability across health care covered entities.
Sybase HIPAA Accelerator implementation adheres to a careful interpretation of the gray box rules, called Industry Notes in the HIPAA Implementation Guides. Because these rules are subject to different interpretations, Sybase is involved with HCCO CCAP.
For more information on Sybase support for HCCO CCAP test suites, see “Support for HCCO CCAP testing”. See also the HIPAA Conformance Certification Organization Web site.
